UPDATE: The excellent clip above was done by our pal, Andy, who wrote: "I posted it on youtube last week. I was pissed about Ryan Mallett calling himself a 'michigan man' and I put something up to remind me what a real 'michigan man' was."

Ryan Mallett couldn't handle the transition, so he wimped out. Revisionists will say that he was pushed out by RR, but apparently Mallett was not well-liked by his teammates. My friends who were involved with the team told me this before he transferred. I also know that he has been involved in some altercations with students in Ann Arbor. He's a cocky little asshole, albeit a talented one.

Emotional/bad news day here at the office so your post brought tears to my eyes -- the floodgates are now open. I LOVE that clip! No one like him, no one.

A couple things: I totally dig the 70s porn-esque theme music for M-Replay back in the day (lol), and I can't get over how low the wall/how high the field was in those shots. Oh, I remember it...but just so funny to see it now.

1) Obviously this is Bob Ufer at his best. No one has ever come close to his style. I miss him.2) The gutless decision by IU coach Lee Corso to go for the tie rather than the win.3) The now illegal intentional fumble by Larry Reid the play before the Wangler to AC miracle. Reid actually threw the ball to Corso to stop the clock.4) Bo's reaction immediately after the touchdown. He just didn't know what to do.

Yost, special props to Andy for his youtube video! I found it the other day and sent it to you (Andy, you should have sent it to Yost instead of me). How I found it was my nephew will be a freshman at Michigan this fall and when I asked him about Bob Ufer, his response was "who is that?"

this was the first time I was in The Big House. I was 12 and sat in the student section with my older brother...ran on the field at the end of the game (I cant find me on the field in the video) and I still have the ticket stub to prove I was there!

I'm old enough to remember hearing that on the radio live. I loved listening to Ufer back in the day. I still remember most of his Woody Hayes poem. "Ohio came to bury Michigan all wrapped in maize and blue...."

Nah...Joe Buck is the best announcer ever....I love his pairing with Troy Aikman. His coverage of the Tigers World Series was so awesome that I had to turn it off because my brain was going to burst from all the pleasure he was....

GAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Your right Ufer was awesome. I have a CD of a show they did about him (from WJR, I think).
